"Tools and applications for reading PDF files" matching MCP servers:

The local PDF workflow for Claude Desktop and MCP hosts: fill, sign, merge, split, extract, and analyze PDFs without sending files to a web app.

mcp using PyPDF2 to: • merge-pdfs • extract-pages • search-pdfs • merge-pdfs-ordered (merge in user spec. order) • find-related-pdfs (regex extracted text for related PDF files)

pdf-tools-mcp

Enables document conversion between PDF, DOCX, and Markdown formats to facilitate reading and editing complex files in AI tools like Claude Desktop or Cursor. It utilizes marker-pdf and pandoc to provide structured text versions of documents, helping to manage context and support unsupported file types.

A comprehensive tool server for reading, merging, and extracting content from PDF files via local paths or direct URLs. It enables metadata retrieval, regex searching, and page-specific text extraction with built-in caching and workspace-restricted security.

PDF Tools AI - MCP server providing AI-powered tools and automation by MEOK AI Labs

A lightweight MCP server for basic file operations, enabling reading, writing, and listing files securely via the Model Context Protocol.

A local MCP server that gives Claude a durable reading room for EPUB and plain text books, enabling chunk-by-chunk navigation, annotations, progress tracking, and shared margin cards.

An MCP server for reading, rendering, and searching PDF files, specifically optimized for LLMs to extract text, tables, and technical diagrams. It enables metadata retrieval, multi-format text extraction, and page-to-image rendering using PyMuPDF.

Enables ChatGPT/Codex to read, search, and edit files in a single allowed folder on Windows through OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel.

Stdio MCP server for sandboxed file access — read files, search content, safely edit with checksums, and manage file structure.

Enables LibreChat agents to manage per-user private files, persistent documentation, RAG indexing and semantic search, and publish files via secure opaque public links.

Enables secure, read-only access to local project files (including text, DOCX, PDF, and XLSX) through MCP, with strict directory whitelisting and no write, edit, or command-execution tools.

An MCP server that provides tools for reading, writing, and manipulating PDF files, including text extraction, metadata retrieval, and merging or splitting documents. It also enables users to create PDFs from plain text and convert specific pages or entire documents into images.

Enables PDF file manipulation including merging, splitting, extracting pages, extracting text, excluding pages, and reordering pages.

A high-performance Model Context Protocol server that enables AI agents to extract text, images, and metadata from PDF documents using parallel processing. It features intelligent Y-coordinate content ordering to preserve natural reading flow and supports both local files and URL-based sources.

An MCP server for local testing that enables file management operations, requiring authentication via Microsoft identity platform credentials.

Enables AI agents to safely explore directories, read files, search content by pattern or filename, and edit files with checksum verification and dry-run preview within sandboxed filesystem access.

Provides tools for reading and extracting text from PDF files, supporting both local files and URLs.

This server converts PDFs to markdown with intelligent academic paper detection and dual processing engines (marker-pdf for academic content, PyMuPDF for general documents), supporting URL and local file handling, page extraction, batch processing, and PDF link crawling for Claude Code analysis.
